The CW Network has officially renewed WWE SmackDown for the fall season. There was never any indication of trouble since the show is among the highest rated television show for men on the network. However; ratings for the CW Network are down as a whole, but with SmackDown doing consistent numbers, if anything, it brings value to the network.

AOL Sports reported that WWE RAW was being watched by more people than the NBA playoffs. This has been the same story for most of the regular NBA season.
